void main()
{
	int choice,age,*age_ptr,age1;
	char name,*name_ptr,add,*add_ptr,name1,add1;
	clrscr();
	do{
        gotoxy(32,10);
	printf("WELCOME !");
	gotoxy(24,12);
	printf("Press 'ENTER' to continue...");

i think my coding is very complicated, or please post any coding that can make add edit view database on turbo c , i really dont get the exact explanation of pointers , please help me!

I NEED TO USE POINTERS TO ADD EDIT AND VIEW , I'M NOT YET DONE TO THIS CODING.. please help me !

[memcpy]

> i think my coding is very complicated
How is that complicated? It's just a huge list of repeated code with hard-coded values and outdated API functions. Scrap the clrscr(), scrap the getch(), and definitely scrap the gotoxy() with hard-coded numbers.

> or please post any coding that can make add edit view database on turbo c
Don't use Turbo C, don't use void main, and don't expect us to give you free source code. If you're interested in getting a full-fledged program, you should be hiring people, not expecting good will on a forum.

> i really dont get the exact explanation of pointers , please help me!
If you're so lazy you won't try to understand WHY what you do works, and how to adapt it to other situations, you don't deserve our help, let alone free source code. From your code, you seem to have no understanding of pointers, and shoving random values into random pointers (and not even correctly).
